Include people waiting to start a new job to be included in Furlough payments

Petition Details

Within the guidelines of the new furlough plan anyone who was between jobs is not entitled to a penny. If a work contract is in place and their new employers agree a future start date allow them to be included.

Additional Information

There are thousands of honest and hard working people unable to claim furlough. These people were waiting to start new jobs, with a contract and it is now delayed because of Coronavirus. These people should not be left behind or punished for accepting new jobs.
